A
hot-red, mid-engined exotic sports car for less than an econobox? The Fiero
is an exceptional value and a unique car; imagine a baby Ferrari made from
off-the-shelf GM parts. Many aspects of its design were well ahead of its
time and are still rare in today's cars, such as a body made of plastic
panels that will never rust.
Unfortunately, these innovative little cars have become
quite scarce, since fewer than 30,000 of the GT versions were made before
the car was discontinued in 1988. The 1988 Fiero GT's had the best brakes,
suspension, steering, and drivetrain, and are the truest realization of
the car's potential.
1988 GT's are very hard to come by, especially with a
5-speed, but I found this one only an hour's drive away, and with only
48,000 miles on it to boot.
UPDATE:
I opted NOT to buy the Fiero at the last minute and will
stick with my '99 Acura Integra GS-R.
